5-Vinylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes heated in the presence of a titanium catalyst system are isomerized to 5-ethylidenebicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes. The catalyst system of this invention comprises a titanium compound, an alkali metal, and a cyclopentadienyl magnesium halide. The catalyst system is highly efficient and capable of rapidly isomerizing 5-vinylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes. 5-Ethylidenebicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-enes are useful comonomers for polymerization with alpha -olefins such as ethylene and propylene. |
